[V4RB] Valentina 2.0 installation

[Stan Busk]

Hi,

I think this is too complex and time consuming as you need to create 
the packages for each distribution... I develop in 7 languages and 3 
platforms, imagine what I need to do. This is getting each day worst 
and worst. Not to say new people coming to Valentina for the first 
time, I think most of them will stick to RB built-in database 
capabilities as I should have done myself *or* you should ask RB to 
include the possibility to create packages at compile time.
